Kinloch Falconer to Clifton (6 August 1864)

Atlanta, Ga."
August 6, 1864 )
My dear Clifton:)
I wrote you on the
2nd, (or 1st) enclosing a leave for 60
days. From your last letter, through
major Hooper, I learn the leave has
not been rec’d, I issued the order
immediately upon the reception of
yr. letter to me, which was delayed
by the raid on the Macon Road."
I trust you have rec’d my
letter before this.)
I would write you at length
now, but it is just after breakfast,"
and business is [ ] in upon the
office. If I have time, I will send
a letter for you to take to mother -
You must be sure to call often and
see my home-folks, and tell them
all you know about me. That
won’t be much, will it as you
haven’t seen me in 4 months?)
This is written hastily. Give
my love to your dear mother and
family.)
Yrs. truly,"
Kinloch Falconer
